I really don't like it. But I think it's good that they are brave enough to sell something so different.

Yeah, the ginger one. Sainsburys sent it as a replacement for another ale I ordered......spent the last 4 bottles trying to decide if I like it ......don't think I do ! 😆

Blandford Flyer is excellent but [b]only[/b] with Curries, the ginger lends itself very nicely to blend with the other spices. Better if chilled as well. Fursty Ferret, terrible name but a fantastic Ale. Poachers Choice Arghhh liquorice should not be allowed in any beer and Golden Glory with peach is just plain wrong.

Try Badger Golden Glory. Cold out of fridge, Melon and Peach, lovely on a hot summers day.

I once bought it not realising what it was... never again, made me gag.
I'm not a fan of beer that has been flavoured with something obvious like ginger or orange or coffee. The first gulp is interesting, the second ok, but after that you're just wishing it was finished and I'm not one to leave a pint.

An ice Golden Glory on a summers day is a splendid ale.

Ice should only be allowed in Cider. Please not in Beer!

I think Blandford Flyer is the only Badger beer I've tried that I don't like.

Just doesn't taste nice at all.

IMO all Badgers ales are rather insipid.

I quite like it but have to be in the mood for it. I think it tastes better slightly chilled, or certainly a little cooler than normal for ale. Didn't it used to be called Blandford Fly rather than Flyer?

You can keep that horrible flowery golden glory filth, it has a sort of horrible fake apricot yoghurt taste to it. Most unpleasant.

I'm not a huge fan of Badger, they're a little too "experimental" for my liking. Beer shouldn't have flowers in it.

I think my favourite brewer at the minute is Wychwood. I've yet to find a beer they do that I don't like, even with genres I wouldn't normally go for.

Blandford Fly is excellent.
Golden Glory's the peachy one, right? Not bad, but not my favourite.

Best ever is Wells BananaBread Ale. Amazing stuff.
